## Indications for Use

The Safe-T-Peel® Safety Needle Introducer is used to facilitate placement of a peripherally inserted intravenous catheter, through the skin into a vein and when used according to the Instructions For Use (IFU) may reduce the risk of an accidental needle stick.

## Device Story

Safe-T-Peel® Safety Needle/Introducer is a single-patient, single-use device designed to facilitate the placement of peripherally inserted intravenous catheters. The device consists of a stainless steel needle and a splittable plastic sheath. It functions as an introducer to gain venous access; the sheath is designed to be split for removal after catheter placement. The device incorporates a sharps injury prevention mechanism to reduce the risk of accidental needle sticks during or after use. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. The device is substantially equivalent to existing introducers with integrated safety features.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel needle; splittable plastic sheath. Single-use, sterile. Sharps injury prevention mechanism integrated into the needle/introducer assembly.

## Regulatory Identification

An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

# Intended Use

The Safe-T-Peel® Safety Needle Introducer is used to facilitate placement of a peripherally inserted intravenous catheter, through the skin into a vein and when used according to the Instructions For Use (IFU) may reduce the risk of an accidental needle stick.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# Substantial Equivalence

All predicate devices presented for comparison with the Safe-T-Peel® Safety Needle/Introducer are single patient, single use, stainless steel needle introducers with splittable sheaths, intended to facilitate the placement of Peripherally Inserted Catheters (PICs). Additionally the Safe-T-Peel® Safetv Needle/Introducer contains a splittable plastic sheath identical to the one used in the TFX Medical Introducer Assembly (K993191).

The Safe-T-Peel® Safety Needle/Introducer is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device (K013304) with sharps injury prevention features because it has the same intended uses, similar principles of operation, similar technological characteristics and similar performance test results. The primary intended use is nearly identical to the primary intended use of Becton Dickinson's INTROSYTE Autoguard Shiclded Introducer (K013304), TFX Corporation's TFX Medical Introducer Assembly (K993191), and TFX Corporation's TFX Modical Safety Needle with Introducer (K000665). The secondary intended use (protection against needle stick injury) is nearly identical to that of both theK013304 and K000665 predicate devices. The sharps injury prevention mechanism is essentially identical to the mechanism used in Becton Dickinson's INTROSYTE Autoguard Shielded Introducer (K013304).

Dear Mr. Kahan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into cither class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
